Two different font designs at the same point size may actually have different physi- cal sizes. The correct size for a font depends on it usage, but is somewhat arbitrary. Generally, body copy should be around 9–12 points, depending on the font used, the audience, and the width of the column. Some fonts are easily read at smaller sizes, while others need to be larger. Audience age should be considered; the older the audience, the larger the type. Also, the longer the column width, the larger the body type size.
